Insulation
By insulating your home you not only do your bit to help reduce Carbon emissions but you also:
• Save money on your energy bills
• It will give your home better energy efficiency, which could increase its value
• Insulating your home also helps to keep it cooler in the summer months too
Insulation facts
The average annual savings after insulating your home are:
• After loft insulation – £150 on average per year saved
• After cavity insulation – £115 on average per year saved
• Loft insulation needs to be 270mm in depth to stop the heat escaping
